Christmas of the Light 2020
2020, Autumn&Winter A New Learning Project
Applied the methodology of National Geographic Education
In the autumn and winter of 2020, pupils of my Piano/English lesson learned about Christmas, such as;
-Where did Christmas begin?
-What we celebrate and wish?
I will display the scenes from their learning, the geographic and historical researches, and the fancy drawings by their beautiful imagination in a local community centre from December the 14th.
In the evening of Friday, December the 18th, each piano students brings small light. Some recite the Christmas texts written by Dutch illustrator Dick Bruna, and some play Christmas music with the piano.
You are warmly welcome to share the romantic atmosphere of Christmas with us.
